H. Warning Signs
The Board of Directors of the Company reviewed the existence of Warning Signs in the Company, as these
are defined in Article 10B(4) of the Securities regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. In view of
the consolidated financial structure of the Company and its subsidiaries and based on the financial data
appearing in the Company's consolidated financial statements as reviewed by the Company's management,
the Board of Directors determined that the fact that the Company's separate reports indicate an ongoing
negative cash flow from operating activities does not point to a liquidity problem, and accordingly, as of the
date of the report, there are no Warning Signs in the Company.
The main considerations behind the resolution of the Board of Directors include, inter alia, the following:
1. The Company's consolidated financial statements reflect a positive level of working capital. Furthermore,
the consolidated annual financial statements reflect consistent positive cash flow from operating activities.
This positive working capital, which includes, at the reporting date, a cash balance of USD 530.2 million,
is the principal source for the repayment of the Company's liabilities.
2. Based on the structure of the operations of the Group, the manufacturing subsidiaries in Israel, ADAMA
Makhteshim and ADAMA Agan ("the Manufacturing Companies") are the principal manufacturers of the
Group's products that are sold by the Group's marketing companies all over the world, so that there is a
current liability of the marketing companies towards the Manufacturing Companies.
3. The proceeds from the debentures issued by the Company were granted as loans to the manufacturing
Companies on the same terms as the terms of the debentures, including the dates of payment.
B. Summary of Key Developments
See the chapter below on Material Changes and New Information in the Company's business.
C. Market Risks – Exposure and Risk Management
1. General
The Company conducts its business in environments that operate in various currencies. Due to its activities,
the Company is exposed to market risks, primarily exchange rate fluctuations, partial adjustment of the
prices of products to reflect the prices of raw materials, change in the level of the CPI, and changes in the
LIBOR interest rate. The Company's Board of Directors has approved the use of accepted financial
11
instruments (such as options, forward contracts and swaps) for hedging against exposure to exchange rate
fluctuations and a rise in the CPI stemming from the Company's operations. The Company effects these
transactions only through banks and stock exchanges which must comply with capital adequacy
requirements or maintain a level of collateral based on various scenarios.
For details relating to credit risk and liquidity risk, see Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements of the
Company as of December 31, 2013.

The exchange rate fluctuations of these currencies during the Reporting Period impact various sections in
the Company's financial statements. The net impact of the changes in currency exchange rates in the period
after the date of the financial statements on the balance sheet exposure is not material, due to the high rate
of balance sheet hedging carried out by the Company as noted above.

risk management. For information about his education, qualifications and business experience, see section

12. Section 33.3 – Specific Risk Factors
Working Capital Requirements and Cash Flow of the Company
Like other companies operating in the crop protection products industry, the Company has significant
cash flow and working capital requirements in the ordinary course of its business. The Company's
business requires significant financial resources and investments in light of its growth and considering
its strategic geographic growth areas; broad product portfolio and investments in manufacturing
infrastructure. The Company works consistently to improve its working capital management, and for the
last three years, has recorded positive cash flow from operating activities. However, in 2012, the
Company's cash flow from operating activities less cash used in investing activities was negative.
In 2013, the said cash flow amounted to $41 million. Although the Company currently satisfies all of its
financial covenants, a significant deterioration in its results of operations could cause the Company to
fail to comply with its financial covenants in the future, and be unable to satisfy its financing needs. As a
result of this, the Company's ability to achieve its objectives and growth plans and to meet its financing
obligations could be adversely affected.

Review Report to the Shareholders of Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd.
(formerly, Makhteshim–Agan Industries Ltd.) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter – “the Group”)
comprising of the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of September 30,
2014 and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows for the nine and three month periods then ended. The Board of
Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim
financial information in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, and are also
responsible for the preparation of financial information for these interim periods in accordance with
Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is
to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
We did not review the condensed interim financial information of certain consolidated subsidiaries
whose assets constitute about 5.6% of the total consolidated assets as of September 30, 2014 and
whose revenues constitute about 9.1% and about 9.6% of the total consolidated revenues for the nine
and three month periods then ended, respectively. Furthermore, we did not review the condensed
interim financial information of equity accounted investees, the investment in which amounted to
about $7,839 thousand, as of September 30, 2014, and the Group’s share in their profits (losses)
amounted to about $2,179 thousand and about $(8) thousand, for the nine and three month periods
then ended, respectively. The condensed interim financial information of those companies was
reviewed by other auditors whose review reports thereon were furnished to us, and our conclusion,
insofar as it relates to amounts emanating from the financial information of such companies, is based
solely on the said review reports of the other auditors.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements 1, "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of
Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of interim financial information consists of making
inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying
analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does
not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the accompanying financial information was not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review and the review reports
of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying
interim financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure
requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

Note 1 - Reporting Principles and Accounting Policies
A. The reporting entity
(1) Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) is an Israel-resident company
that was incorporated in Israel, and its official address is the Arava Building in Airport City
Park. The Group’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30,
2014, include those of the Company and its investee companies (hereinafter together – “the
Group”) as well as the Company’s interest in associated companies and in jointly-controlled
entities. The Group operates in and outside of Israel and is engaged in development,
manufacturing and marketing of agrochemicals, intermediate materials for other industries, food
additives and synthetic aromatic products, mainly for export.
(2) Sales of agrochemical products are directly impacted by the timing of the agricultural seasons (in
each of the various markets), the weather in every region and the cyclical pattern of the harvests.
Therefore, the Group’s income is not uniform and is not spread evenly throughout the quarters of
the year. The agricultural seasons in countries located in the northern hemisphere (mainly the
United States and Europe) take place in the first two quarters of the year and, accordingly, in
these countries the sales are usually highest in the first half of the year. On the other hand, in the
southern hemisphere, the seasonal trends are the opposite and most of the local sales are made in
the second half of the year, except for Australia where most of the sales are made in April
through July.
In the Company’s estimation, the Group's balanced regional exposure mitigates the inherent
seasonality in the business to some extent, even though the Group’s sales are higher in the
northern hemisphere.
Note 2 - Basis for Financial Statement Preparation
A. Declaration of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 –
Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information required for full annual financial
statements. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2013 (hereinafter – “the Annual Financial Statements”). Furthermore, these financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with Section D of the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic
and Immediate Reports), 1970.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Group's Board of
Directors on November 6, 2014.
B. Use of estimates and judgment
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to use judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the implementation of the accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management’s judgment when applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key assumptions used in
estimates that involve uncertainty are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statements.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its annual financial statements.
New standards not yet adopted
A. IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments
A final version of the Standard, which includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement
of financial instruments, and a new model for measuring impairment of financial assets. This guidance
has been added to the chapter dealing with general hedge accounting requirements issued in 2013.
Classification and measurement
In accordance with IFRS 9 (2014), there are three principal categories for measuring financial assets:
amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.
The basis of classification for debt instruments is the entity’s business model for managing financial
assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity
instruments will be measured at fair value through profit and loss (unless the entity elected at initial
recognition to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income).
IFRS 9 (2014) requires that changes in fair value of financial liabilities designated at fair value through
profit or loss that are attributable to changes in its credit risk, should usually be recognized in other
comprehensive income.
Hedge accounting – general
Under IFRS 9 (2014), additional hedging strategies that are used for risk management will qualify for
hedge accounting. IFRS 9 (2014) replaces the present 80%-125% test for determining hedge
effectiveness, with the requirement that there be an economic relationship between the hedged item and
the hedging instrument, with no quantitative threshold. In addition, IFRS 9 (2014) introduces new
models that are alternatives to hedge accounting as regards credit exposures and certain contracts outside
the scope of IFRS 9 (2014) and sets new principles for accounting for hedging instruments. In addition,
IFRS 9 (2014) provides new disclosure requirements.
Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9 (2014) presents a new ‘expected credit loss’ model for calculating impairment. For most assets,
the new model presents a dual measurement approach for impairment: if the credit risk of a financial
asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, an impairment provision will be
recorded in the amount of the expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible
within the twelve months after the reporting date.
If the credit risk has increased significantly, in most cases the impairment provision will increase and be
recorded at the level of lifetime expected credit losses of the financial asset.
IFRS 9 (2014) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption
being permitted. It will be applied retrospectively with some exemptions.
The Group has not yet commenced examining the effects of adopting IFRS 9 (2014) on the financial
statements.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
New standards not yet adopted (cont’d)
B. IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 replaces the current guidance regarding recognition of revenues and presents a new model for
recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 provides two approaches for recognizing
revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model includes five steps for analyzing transactions so as to
determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. Furthermore, IFRS 15 provides new and more
extensive disclosure requirements than those that exist under current guidance.
IFRS 15 is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and earlier application is
permitted. IFRS 15 includes various alternative transitional provisions, so that companies can choose
between one of the following alternatives at initial application: full retrospective application, full
retrospective application with practical expedients, or application as from the mandatory effective date,
with an adjustment to the balance of retained earnings at that date in respect of transactions that are not
yet complete.
The Group has not yet commenced examining the effects of adopting IFRS 15 on the financial
statements.
Note 4 - Operating Segments
A. Products and services:
The Company presents its segment reporting based on a format that is based on a breakdown by business
segments:
Crop protection (Agro)
This is the main area of the Company’s operation and includes the manufacture and marketing of
conventional agrochemical products and activities in the seeds’ sector.
Other (Non-agro)
This field of activity includes a large number of sub-fields, including: Lycopan (an oxidization
retardant), aromatic products, and other chemicals. It combines all the Company’s activities not
included in the crop protection segment.
The basis of segmentation and the measurement basis for the segment profit or loss are the same as that
presented in Note 30 “Operating Segments” in the Annual Financial Statements for 2013.
Segment results reported to the chief operating decision maker include items directly attributable to a
segment as well as items that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly
financing expenses, net.

Note 5 - Financial Instruments
Fair value
The fair value of forward contracts on foreign currency is based on their listed market price, if available.
In the absence of market prices, the fair value is estimated based on the discounted difference between
the stated forward price in the contract and the current forward price for the residual period until
redemption, using an appropriate interest rate.
The fair value of foreign currency options and cross currency swaps is based on bank quotes. The
reasonableness of the quotes is evaluated through discounting future cash flow estimates, based on the
conditions and duration to maturity of each contract, using the market interest rates of a similar
instrument at the measurement date and in accordance with the Black & Scholes model.
(1) Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes only
The carrying value of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables, other receivables, other short-term investments, derivatives, bank overdrafts, short-term
loans and credit, trade payables and other payables, conform to or approximate their fair value.
The table below provides the carrying value and fair value of categories of long-term financial
instruments, which are stated in the financial statements at other than their fair value:

(2) Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different
levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical instrument.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly
or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value, are evaluated by observable inputs and
therefore are concurrent with the definition of Level 2.

Note 6 - Additional Information
(1) In the ordinary course of business, legal claims were filed against subsidiaries, including
lawsuits regarding claims for patent infringement. Inter alia, from time to time, the Company is
exposed to class actions for large amounts, which it must defend against while incurring
considerable costs, even if these claims, from the start, have no basis. A trend has become
evident recently, of an increase in the filing of claims against companies engaged in activities
similar to those of the Company, with motions for class action approval, due to various causes
of action. In the estimation of the Company’s management, based, inter alia, on opinions of its
legal counsel regarding the prospects of the proceedings, the financial statements include
appropriate provisions, where necessary to cover the exposure resulting from the claims.
A detailed description of the existing contingent liabilities against the Company appears in
Note 19 to the annual financial statements for 2013. Set forth below is detail of the material
changes that occurred in the material legal proceedings to which the subsidiaries are a party:
During 2008, third-party notices were filed against a subsidiary of Adama and an additional
thirty-five companies and persons, by the Industrial Council of Ramat Hovav and the State of
Israel, in the framework of three claims for damages filed by three groups of plaintiffs and with
respect to which the plaintiffs stipulated amounts of about NIS 242 million ($65.5 million) (not
including general damage categories that were not quantified). On January 9, 2013, a court
decision was handed down that rejected the claims in their entirety. An appeal filed by the
plaintiffs with the Supreme Court was rejected in full on September 29, 2014.
(2) Share-based payments
During December 2013, and on January 1, 2014, the Company’s Remuneration Committee and
Board of Directors approved an issuance of 9,322,227 options to Group officers and employees,
in accordance with the Company’s options’ plan (hereinafter – “the Plan”). The issuance date of
the options is January 29, 2014.
Every option may be exercised for one share of NIS 1 par value. The options will vest in three equal portions, where each third may be exercised after two years,
three years and four years, respectively, commencing from January 1, 2014. The options may be
exercised, in whole or in part, pursuant to the conditions of the Plan, subject to the Company’s
shares being listed for trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. or any other stock
exchange outside of Israel (in whole or in part) on the exercise date, and subject to reaching the
Group’s net sales’ targets and EBITDA targets, as provided in the Plan.
The fair value of the options granted was estimated through application of a binominal model
for pricing options. The assumptions used in application of the model are:

– The share price was determined by the Company’s management in reliance in part upon
the discounted cash flow analysis (the “DCF Analysis”) of an external expert. In
particular, management determined the assumptions and estimates required to perform
the DCF Analysis.
Those assumptions were derived from data including the Company’s past financial
performance, management’s future plans and projections and industry data relating to
the agrochemical market. Management provided these assumptions and estimates to the
external expert who prepared the DCF model based on those assumptions and
estimates. The DCF model provided a basis for determining the Company’s share price.
The contractual term of the option is 7 years from the grant date.
Expected dividends have no effect on the options’ fair value as the exercise price is fully
adjusted to dividends.
The parameters used to determine the fair value of existing awards will not change once the
underlying shares begin trading as fair value is calculated once on the relevant grant date.
However, in respect of further issuances certain parameters will be based upon market
information once the underlying shares begin trading.
The cost of the benefit embedded in the options issued, as stated, based on the fair value on the
date of their issuance, amounted to a total of $21 million. This amount is recognized in the
statement of income over the vesting period of each portion.
The parameters used in application of the binominal model to determine the fair value of the
options are:
Share price (dollars) 6.11
Original exercise price (dollars) 6.09
Expected volatility 37.59%
Risk free interest rate 2.47%
Economic value on the grant date (thousands of dollars) 21,013
During April and May 2014, the Company’s Remuneration Committee, Board of Directors and
shareholders approved the issuance of an additional 988,799 options to the Company’s CEO
based on the conditions set forth above.
The cost of the benefit embedded in the options issued, as stated, based on the fair value on the
date of their issuance, amounted to a total of $2.7 million. This amount is recognized in the

Subject: Special Auditors' Report on Separate Interim Financial Information according
to Regulation 38D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) –
1970
Introduction
We have reviewed the separate interim financial information presented in accordance with
Regulation 38D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) – 1970 of
Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) as of September 30, 2014
and for the nine and three month periods then ended. The separate interim financial
information is the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and of its
Management. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the separate interim financial
information, based on our review.
We did not review the separate interim financial information of investee companies the
investments in which amounted to about $120,012 thousand as of September 30, 2014, and
the profit from these investee companies amounted to about $10,808 thousand and
about $2,384 thousand for the nine and three month periods then ended, respectively. The
financial statements of those companies were reviewed by other auditors whose review
reports thereon were furnished to us and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to amounts
emanating from the financial statements of such companies, is based solely on the said
review reports of the other auditors.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements 1, “Review
of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of separate interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we
would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying separate interim financial
information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Regulation 38D of
the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) – 1970.

financial reporting and the preparation of the reports according to the instructions of the law
